Apprised by Mr. Egan of the Result of the Chilian War—The Diplomatic Situation. Minister Egan has been heard from and the State Department has at last been officially ap- prised that the war in Chili is ended. Asa re- sult the department is in a less per ced. frame of mind than heretofore. Minister Egan's dispatch was dated at Santiago yester- day, and ran thu “A decisive battle, Valparaiso, 28th August. The revolution entirely successful. President Balmaceda resigned 28th. Revolutionists fully installed. Everything tranquil. | Eoax.” There is one thing to be noted, in the dis- patch. Mr. Egan refers to the “revolution” and the “revolutionists.” These are terms that have heretofore been tabooed in all references to the Chilian war. Balmaceda, according to the code, was being opposed by “insurgents” or “congressionalists,” forming @ party, en- gaged in an “‘insurrection.” There is 4 nice art in this bair-splitting over words in diplomatic lingo, and the most exact care is exercised by consular agents and other repre- entatives in their phraseology. An old couplet puts the question neatly in about these lines: “Treason never prospers— What's the reason? If it does, none dare call it treason.” ‘Thus poesy comes in to Mr. Egan's aid. It js generally accepted that the line of antagon- ism runs thus: A riot, a rebellion, a revolution. A reyolution is a successful rebellion. Hence the weight of Mr. Egan's terms “revolution” and “revolution: The additional phrase to the effect that the successful party is ‘fully installed” is also ponderous with meaning, and the State Department is now in the posi- tion of knowing that the Dalmaceda govern- ment is now no more and hence that somo chango in the status of ministers both to and from Chili must soon ensue The niceties of eee in Mr. Egan's cablegram cannot be the creatures of chance scribbling, for he bad three whole days in which to write his message. taken time and he therefore prob: ample gpportunity to choose lis words. At the State Department this morning it was stated that no steps would be taken to- ward the recognition of the new government until further information and details bave been received from Mr. Egan and the United States consul, Mr. McCreer; — SECRETARY PROCTOR ACCEPTS.

Attorney General Miller's Opinion as to the Effect of a Kemitted Sentence. The Attorney General has decided an inter- esting question construing the effect of the remission of the sentence of a court-martial upon the standing of @ naval officer. An officer was, by sentence of « court-martial, suspended from duty for a fixed time with the condition that he was to retain his number in his grade until the expiration of the sentence. Before the sentence expired the unexecuted portion was remitted, but during its operation two officers had passed above the suspended officer in grade number. This officer, after the remission, holding that it was a pardon and carried with it rectification of the continuing penalty from which he suffers in the advancement of the two ofiicers over his number, sought to be placed upon the list at the point he would haveattained hud the sentence not been enforced. The ques- tion was referred to the Attorney General, who has decided that the remission of the unexe- cuted purt of the sentence was not retroactive, and that such punishment as had been suffered While it was in operation could not be rectified. pence the officer's application has been re- jected. ———-e-+—_____ SECRETARY RUSK RETURNS. Pork and Beef Inspection in the West Prov- ing a Success. Crops are looking up in the farming districts in and around this city today, while the corn crop at Cape May has decidedly wilted. The fact is that Secretary Rusk has returned to Washington and thismorning was holding down his seat at the Agricultural Department with his usual skill and ability. The Secretary had made only a flying trip to Cape May, had talked with the President, presumably about the po- tato crop, and bad then returned to this city. “Yes, I am here to stay for the present,” said Secretary Rusk toa Stam reporter. “So far as Tam aware there is little news of importance around the department. The plan of beef and pork inspection which has been inaugurated in the west is proving a great success, Beef is thoroughly inspected at Chicago by the depart- ment, a post-mortem, as it were, being held on t 0 also the arrangements for in- spection have been 60 8; ¢ shippers are in co: 1,200 hogs a day.

Application was recently made at the Treas- ury Department for permission to export for repairs and reimport free of duty certain duty paid riffes importedat St. Louisand which have been since withdrawn from the custody of the government. The application has been denied by Assistant Secretary Nettleton, for the reason that “no return of the dutice shall be allowed on the exportation of any mer- chandise aftor it has been removed from the custody of the government,” and that the reg- ulations provide that dutiablemerchandise im- ported and afterward exported, although it fay havo paid duty on the Sst importation, ia iable juty on every subsequent importation into the United Statos. chic apiticters Ee Population of Indiana. ‘The census office has issued a bulletin on the population of the state of Indiana by minor civil divisions, which shows that the popula- tion of the state has increased 214,108, or 10.82 per cent, during the decade.

Letters received from Commissioner Dong- lass by members of his family here show that he was in Halifax, N.S., Sunday. His inten- tion was to return to Washington by way of Boston, and he is expected home at the end of this week or the beginning of next. The re- Port that Mr. Douglass had resigned or would resign his office as District Commissioner in order to accept the appointment to the vacancy created on the bench of the Court of Claims by Judge Scoficld’s death is regarded by those who know Mr. Dongiass well as based merely on conjecture. Judge Scofield died Sunday and Mr. Douglass was then in Halifax. Mr. H. B. F. Macfarland, Mr. Douglass’ son- in-law, told a Star reporier today that he was sure Mr. Douglass had not thought of resign- ing his ofice of D Commissioner. r. Douglass, he said, had for years been en- aged in practice before the Court of Claim 1e had been President of the Federal Bar Anso- ciation, composed chiefly of lawyers practicing before’ that court, and was familiar with the business of the court, so that an appointment to that bench would be especially agreeable to him, but he was in no sense an active candi- date. As Judge Scofield’s death did not occur until Sunday there was no vacancy on the bench when Mr. Douglass left Washington. Asa lit ition on the Court of Claims bench would have so many attractions to a lawyer who, like Mr. Douglass, had had much practice in that{court, Mr. Macfarland thoughtit erfectly safe to say that if the place were ndered to Mr. Douglass he would resign the District Commissionership to accept it, but aside from that conditional statement he did not think there was any ground fora report that Mr. Douglass intended resigniny ir. Douglass, it is stated, took the sea tri for Halifax to get rest, which he very muc! needed, and departed rather hastily upon dis- covering that unless he took a certain steamer he would have to wait two weeks for another. At the District building not much credit was given to the report that Mr. Douglass intended Tesigning on account of friction among the Commissioners or to accept a place on the Court of Claims bench or for any other rea- son. Commissioner Ross told a Stan reporter that he knew nothing of any such reported inte tion on Mr. Douglass’ part and did not think there was any truth in the rnmor. Commissioner Robert had heard nothing of the matter and of course could advance no opinion, although he hardly thought there w anything in the rumor. ee POLITICS IN NEW YORK. Democratic Uneasiness Over Lieut. Gov. A STEAMER SUNK AT SEA. MISS LINCOLN WEDS. A Fashionable Audience in the Brompton Charch. A LIGHTNING MAIL TRAIN. Prohibitionists Assail the Adminis- tration. MISS LINCOLN MARRIED In the Presence of a Fashionable Audience at Brompton Church. Loxpox, Sept. 2.—The marriage of Mies Mary Lincoln, daughter of the U. 8. minister, Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, to Mr. Chas. B. Isbam of Chicago, Uls., took place at 2:30 p. m. today at the Brompton Parish Church. A number of fashionable English people and Americans, mostly intimate friends of the Lincoln. family, filled ‘the church. After the marriage cere- mony the most intimate friends of the two milies partook of a wedding breakfast at the U.S. minister's residence in Cromwell Gardens. The wedding was, on the whole, of an ex- tremely simple character. Miss Lincoln, lean- ing upon her father's arm, was met at the church door by the officiating clergyman and the boy choristers, who preceded the bridal party up the aisle to the altar rail, where the groom, attended by his best man, ‘Maj. James ©. Post, military attac United States Jegation, was in waiting. THE BRIDE'S COSTUME. The bride wore a white satin gown, a beauti- ful lace veil and # splendid diamond necklace, the gift of the groom. In her hand Miss Lin- coln carried an ivory-covered prayer book. Mrs. Lincoln and her daughter, Miss Jossic Lincoln, had entered the church some time previous to the entrance of the bride. They Sceupied the front pew on the right of the aisle. After the ceremony the newly married couple were conducted to the vestry, where the wedding party, members of the families of both contracting parties, who were present, and a few intimate friends, signed the marriage reg- is From the church the weddmg party was ariven to Mr. Lincoln's house in Cromwell Jones’ Determination to Run. The prospect that Lieut. Gov. Jones will run as an independent candidate for governor of New York is calculated to give the demo- crats some uneasiness. With two democratic candidates in the field, each having plenty of money which he is willing to spend to advance his own interests, the democratic party could not go into the contest with any feeling of se- curity. Politicians who are familiar with New York politics and are watching thi there now with particular —_ interest say that the republicans have no chance of electing @ governor if the democrats were working harmoniously together, but that there isso much rivalry between the factions both over the governorship and over the prospects of the presidential nomination that everything is topsy-turvy with the democ: CLEVELAND AND HILL. The Cleveland men have gone to work quietly, after the old-time Tilden plan, to get control of the siate, and so far therg are signs of their being successful and Governor Hill bas on his war paint. It ie suspected, and openly declired im some Quarters, that Mr. Hill fe determined to keep up discord in the party and that he would even look on with complacency if the democratic candidate for governor, if not of his naming, should be defeated. EFFECT OF FLOWER’S DEFEAT. A defeat for Mr. Flower woild involve no particular personal loss to Mr. Hill, but, on the contrary, contrasted with his own former victories, might give color to the claims of his the is the only democrat who can carrying the state when he tries. It is pretty generally conceded that Mr. Flower will be the regular democratic nomi- nee. ‘Mr. Flower has aspired to the presidency be- fore and his election as governor might put another rival to Mr. Hillin the field, and if Flower did not feel a revival of his former am- bition it is understood that his influence would be used for Mr. Cleveland. The contemplation of either prospect is not calculated to inspire Mr. Hill with enthusiasm, and be is credited with making things very dis- agreeable for his party. REPUBLICANS RESTIVE OF PLATT INFLUENCE. If, in addition to the trouble they are having, Mr. Jones divides the party, it will make the campaign both lively and uncertain. As an offset to the democratic troubles there is said to be a very carnest determination on the part of certain republicans to shake off the Platt ii fluence. —_—— MILLIONS DUE TODAY. The Treasury and the Bonds to Be Re- deemed—Funds Available to Take Them Up. About 27,000,000 of 434 per cent bonds have not been extended at 2 per cent. These bonds, therefore, are due for redemption today. The Secretary has extended the time indefinitely when these bonds may be exchanged for bonds bearing 2 per cent interest, but all those not extended will cease to bear interest today. While the debt statement issned just before the department closed yesterday showed an avatla- ble cash balance of $60,274,394, it would em- barrass the department somewhat if all the bonds that fall due today were to be presented atonce. This, however, is not apt to occur, and the department is counting on their com- ing in slowly to be taken up without disturb- ing funds, which it is generally thought best should not be allowed to run lower than they now are. There is no doubt about the ability of the Secretary to take up all the bonds that may be presented, but it would not be a satis- factory thing to have to do. The net cash balance of sixty millions i round numbers includes the subsidiary coi amounting to €18,440,721.99; minor coin and fractional currenes, $369,664.24: de tional banks, $17,500,261.05, and disbursing offi- cers’ balances, $5,268,917. 93, which sums cannot be conveniently ‘used. i i \yment of bonds, as they are not legal tenders amounts, and the bank deposits, which would be available in case of necessity, are reduced to as low a point now as is thought desirable in carrying on the b ing these there is an available cash balance of $18,579,565, which will probably more than cover the bonds that will be presented for re- demption between now and next year. = a a garden, where, in company with a few intimate Iriends, they breakfasted. The Race Against Time of » Mail Train Across the Continent. New York, Sept. 2—The mail from China and Japan which left Yokohama August 19 was safely delivered on the steamship City of New York at5 o'clock this morning, and is now on its way to England. How this marvelous feat was accomplished is told as follows. The de- tails are as interesting as those of Sheridan's ride: August 29 the Empress of India arrived at Victoria, B. C. There a special train, fur- nished by the Canadian Pacific, took the mail bags, eighteen in number (twelve for Eng- land and six for New York city), and started on a record-breaking ride across the continent. Assistant Superintendent Bradley y went up to Brockville, just across the St. Law- rence on the Canadian side. Morristown, N. ¥., is just across the river on this side, and Super- intendent Voorhees of the New York Central railroad bad arranged to havea special train com of one baggage car and engine ready at Morristown to bring the mails to this city. Superintendent Jackson of the railway mail service here had arranged for two trucks to be at the Grand Central depot to meet the special and transfer the mail bags to the steamer at her dock on the North river. She was to sail at 5 o'clock this morning. Could connection be made? At noon yesterday Mr. Bradley tele- graphed from Brockville to his chief that the Canadian Pacific was 400 miles away and two hours late. At2:16 p.m. another was received saying that the train was but 300 miles away. Every second was valuable. At 6:10 the special passed Chalk river, 143 miles from Brockville, at fifty-five miles ‘an bour. At 8 o'clock last evening the special made her last stop before reaching Brockville. It made the previous seventy-four miles in ninety-three minutes, including twelve min- utes for stops. The last thirteen miles bad heen covered in eleven minutes. Down she came at a dash the remaining tixty-one miles to Brockville and arrived at panting and putting, having crossed the con- tinent in three days. She arrived at Brock- ville at 9:20. The mail bags were at once hauled out, taken across the ferry and put on a special furnished by the Grand Central people at Mor- ristown. At 945 the train and came “ Ferry, miles, sixty-one minutes; from Poughkeepsie to Cold Spring, twenty-one miles, in twenty minutes; from Croton to Yonkers, nineteen miles, in six- i The City of New York’ was to sixty-eight and one-half ferred from the Grand Central depot in seven- teen minutes?
